Everything I’m shopping from M&S x 16Arlington for party season
The 43-strong collection is brimming with sequins, feathering and satin
Fresh from its returning collaboration with the designer Bella Freud, M&S has now unveiled the perfect party season capsule with the British luxury label 16Arlington.
The 43-strong collection showcases the best of both brands – think 16Arlington’s sequins and sparkles, combined with M&S’s wearability and comfort. Starting from £35, the collaboration is fronted by cool-girl Georgia May Jagger.
Founded in 2017, 16Arlington has gone from strength to strength. Synonymous with feathers, tailoring, texture and satin, the label is a regular sighting on the red carpet, dressing the likes of Amal Clooney, Miley Cyrus, the Kardashians and Hailey Bieber. Each festive party season, it’s a firm favourite among the fashion crowd, particularly on rental services.
Now, you’ve got a chance to own a 16Arlington design at a high street price. The M&S capsule is infused with the label’s signature high-glamour feel – from statement outerwear and oversized shirting to crystal-adorned maxi dresses and silhouetted jeans.
Some pieces are destined to sell out – see the crystal mini skirt, beaded clutch with matching heels, and the black blazer with wide satin lapels. Its a collection designed to be mixed and matched depending on the occasion: the cashmere tassel top can be styled over the bandeau black dress, while the satin pale blue shirt could be worn under the grey cashmere knit. Showstopper pieces include a pair of knee high pony hair black boots, a fitted black leather jacket and faux fur trench coat.
Available online and in-store from today, here’s everything I’m shopping from M&S x 16Arlington for Christmas party season 2025.
M&S x 16Arlington sequin dress
If you only buy one thing from the M&S x 16Arlington collaboration, it has to be this sequin dress. A showstopper for party season, it takes the guesswork out of evening attire. The body-skimming silhouette is super flattering, while the black panelling adds expensive detailing. Just add a pair of black kitten heels and you’re good to go.
M&S x 16Arlington black boots
A good pair of black knee high boots can prop up your winter wardrobe for years to come. This stiletto style has been given the 16Arlington treatment with a textured, hair-on-leather finish. Whether poking out of wide leg trousers or teamed with a mini skirt, the boots instantly add impact.
M&S x 16Arlington faux fur longline trench coat
If your winter wardrobe is lacking a statement coat, call the search off. This ankle-grazing trench boasts a fluffy faux fur chocolate brown finish and double breasted silhouette. The luxuriously oversized shape can be cinched in thanks to a removable belt. Complete with shoulder panels in real leather, it’s a showstopper.
M&S x 16Arlington funnel neck leather jacket
Leather is big news this season. Adding a feminine edge to the trend, this jacket boasts a flattering fitted silhouette. The funnel neck and silver hardware add on-trend detailing. Whether shrugged over a party dress or worn zipped up with jeans, it channels the Noughties in the best way.
M&S x 16Arlington cashmere embellished roll neck top
A party season top that can be dressed up or down, this roll neck features bold embellished appliqués. Crafted from a cashmere blend, it ticks the warmth box, too. Whether styled with jeans for the office or dressed up with the matchi matching tassel black mini skirt for the evening, it’s a glamorous everyday staple.
M&S x 16Arlington wool blend satin tailored black blazer
16Arlington’s tailored blazers have somewhat of a cult following – and now’s your chance to own one at a high street price. Boasting sharp satin wide lapels and Eighties-style power shoulders, the cut is perfectly oversized for layering over sequin co-ords, or styling with the matching wide-leg trousers.
M&S x 16Arlington satin shirt
This silky pale blue shirt is the perfect match for layering under cashmere or tucking into a sequin mini skirt. Crafted from heavyweight satin, it features 16Arlington’s signature pointed collar. Completed with mother of pearl buttons and a fitted silhouette, the shirt adds an androgynous touch to any outfit.
M&S x 16Arlington cashmere roll neck
A dopamine hit for your winter wardrobe, this roll neck top is crafted from pure cashmere for a soft, textured finish. The fitted silhouette is teamed with short sleeves, a ribbed roll neck and pretty lilac purple shade. When it comes to party season, pair with the sequin column skirt, which perfectly contrasts the textured top.
M&S x 16Arlington cashmere scraf neck knitted top
Tops and knitwear with built-in scarfs have taken over this season. M&S x 16Arlington’s take oozes elegance with the pure cashmere fabric and draped scarf detailing. A great investment piece for your wardrobe, the scarf can be detached, which turns the top into a simple knit vest.
